Our Berlin-New Lebanon men’s soccer team took to the field yesterday like a marauding squad of coyotes and took on the young men of Argyle in a match of strength, determination and guile. This young group of coyotes stalked their prey with stealth and attacked when they saw the opportunity, scoring 5 goals. The leaders of this pack of howling coyotes were Kasey Billert, and Cody Hunt. They had a lot of support around the 18, from Dylan Lambert and Danny Hunt. It was a total team effort with team leading scorer Kasey knocking in two goals and Cody and Danny both putting one away each. Malik Plouffe was lights out in the goal as he recorded a shut out before he was pulled with 15 minutes left and the lead comfortably secured. The whole team showed outstanding effort. Conner Voltra was superb playing multiple positions on the field and nobody can question the work ethic of Josh Zlotnick.
